Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I eagerly awaited receiving this product. It deemed to solve two big problems Netbooks face. Overheating and a lack of a disc drive. I WAS excited.
[Bear in mind, I haven't even gotten to turn it on yet.]
First off, the plastic is VERY lightweight. I would never even think about dropping it as it would probably shatter in a million different pieces and shrapnel would tear out my eye, but oh well. I'll just try hard not to drop it.
Secondly, the DC cord is like 3 feet long. Yup, it barely reaches the ground when placed on my desk, but would never make it to the outlet when sat on my lap. This is when the Netbook NEEDS a fan. This was an extreme disappointment.
Finally, I removed the "removable" hard drive to look at it. Sure, it's removable. However, getting it back in, that's another story. I've pushed and prodded, but it won't go in. [Insert that's what she said joke here] I finally got so frustrated that I tried to remove the screws on the bottom to try to get the connector to fit. That didn't work, as I think there was another screw under the label on the bottom. I will need that when I plan on returning it.
Good idea, pretty bad execution.
